Apologies for reviving an old topic. There was no resolution posted,
and the same problem is happening today with guile-1.8.7 on Solaris-10
x86 platform, compiling with Sun Studio 12, all patches current as of
early March-2010.
The earlier response, archived here, gave a clue to solution:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guile/2009-03/msg00009.html
I was able to get past the problem by updating gc_os_dep.c's "#ifdef
SUNOS5" sections with the same sections lifted out of a more recent
Boehme GC release (gc-6.8), file gcconfig.h.
Regards,
Marion

Thanks for the patch! I committed a more minimal update; would you or
someone else with this architecture mind giving Guile 1.8 a pull and
seeing if it builds for you?
Thanks!
Andy
